So, in case you didn't know, April is National Poetry Writing Month, and this year I decided, hey, how about a month of Merlin inspired/related poetry? I haven't written poetry in what feels like forever, but let's do this anyway. Because poetry is awesome.
Disclaimer: I don't own Merlin; let's not talk about the pain that it causes me.
Secret
*.*.*.*.*
There was a secret in his eyes
Blue and guarded
Deep and careful
Sometimes Arthur wondered about it
If it would change things between them
If he really deserved to know what it was.
It was big
It could explode worlds and lives—
Merlin wouldn't keep something so guarded
With such pain and sadness
If it wasn't if it couldn't
And Arthur, oh Arthur, he worried about him
Keeping such a thing to himself
But then Merlin smiled and the secret vanished
And Arthur decided Merlin could keep all the secrets he wanted
As long as it didn't explode their world
He couldn't find it in him to mind
